CHINESE CUSTOMS.
Peculiar characteristics of the Natives
the Celestial EurpIre.

Peculiar characteristics OF the Natives or
the Celestial Empire.
The situation of travellers in China is
not of an enviable kind. When they
leave Canton they are put in closed
boats, guarded from seeing anys thing
along the great canal. On their ar
rival at Pekin they are put under inn
mediate arrest. Chinese customs, taken
alone, are odd enough, but their tout
ensemble is amusing and savors OF
absurdity. Think of the men shaving
their heads and eye brows; of the
women's pressed feet; of the faces
dyed yellow, to beautify them; of white
and yellow mourning; of the odd usages
of their daily life, where the natural
order of the customs of civilized life
seem so strangely inverted; by their
taking dinner commencing with des-
serts and ending with their other food;
drinking their wines scalding hot;
swapping up their viands with chop
sticks, and each guest signifying he is
done by placing his chop-sticks on the
top of his head. These people think
nothing of dying. but their solicitudes
are entirely engrossed in their care
about the coffin and their funeral. In
their eyes religious worship and faith
are an affair of taste and fashion, of no
more Importance than the color of your
garments.
Their staple food is rice as tea is
their drink. Their wines are made
from rice. Though they possess the
grape they do not use it for the pur-
pose. Their mode of catching fish is
peculiar; the men will wade in the
water and strike hard blow upon the
surface of the water with their hands.
This frightens the fish, which dive into
the mud, and the moment Chinaman
feels one touch his feet, he himself
dives also and soon brings up his fish
from the mud. They have singular
way by which they seduce the fish
| themselves to jump into their boats.
In every other country than China,
when a man wishes to be avenged on
his enemy. he endeavors to kill him,
but in China, on the contrary, he kills
| himself. His foe falls at once into the
hands of justice, and will certainly be
tortured and ruined, even if he is not
put to death. The family of the suicide
usually obtains, in addition, a consider
able pecuniary indemnity, and it is by
no means rare for some wretch from d
marked affection for his family to de-
stroy himself in the house of a rich
man.-W q. LeI0iS, IN philadelphia

THE NEAPOLITANS.
A Species of Mankind Which Has No Equal
for Cheating and Lying.


for Cheating and Lying.
The visitor who uses his faculties of
observation is not long in making the
discovery that the Neapolitan is of a
different race to the jewellers in the sur
rounding country, and he is probably
amused to hear with what scorn he is
spoken of by his neighbors. No greater
insult can be offered to man hailing
from Procida oTSCapri, or one of the in
significant neighboring islands, than
to assume him to be a Neapolitan. And
so finely is this distinction drawn that
the people living in Santa Lucia, the
very heart of Naples, decline to be
classified as Neapolitans. In fact, the
different "sezioni," OF districts into
which Naples is divided, speak a dis
tinguishable patois, and though stran-
ger has some difficulty in discovering
why the Luciani consider themselves
superior to the other sections of the
community, there is obviously wide
difference between an inhabitant of Ma
pies and an ordinary Italian. In the
first place, the Court of Naples in the
Bourbon times always spoke French or
Neapolitan, and utterly discounte-
nanced Italian. Nothing that could be
done to keep Naples Neapolitan was
omitted, and every thing that could be
done to distinguish it from Italian was
done. Hence the difference in race was
widely accumulated. The Italian learned
to look upon the Neapolitan with some
thing more than disfavor. But there is
a much more Ineligible reason, and
one which the stranger is not slow to
discover for himself. For lying and
cheating the true Neapolitan has no
equal. His ways are as childlike and
bland as those of our friend the heather
Chinee, and it is marvel if, in any
transaction, he does not succeed with
equal cunning in transferring some of
your cash to his own pocket without an
adequate quid pro qwo- Even the jew
is found to be beaten at his own game
here, and has never gained a foothold
in Naples. Self-respect and shame
facedness are unknown to the Neapol-
itan; he preserves the most unruffled
demeanor in the face of being caught
in downright robbery. 1t is scarcely to
be wondered at, then, that his more
upright neighbor protests against be-
ing COMPOUNDED with a race he despises.
